Pavement etiquette

After three year's of social distancing and stickers on supermarket floors telling us to keep to the left, I'm struggling with pavement etiquette.

I now see someone 100M away and try to keep to the left, but I live in an area where there are lots of Eastern European immigrants and they naturally want to do the opposite to me.

This evening I was walking behind a petite woman on a narrow pavement and as I went to pass her I said, "on your right" but she had headphones on and was on a video call.

She zigzagged and I then said, "on your left, on your right!"

When I passed her, she exclaimed that I had frightened her and a bloke across the road shouted across, "you should watch where you're going love!"

Head up, phone down!

Walking down a street wasn't too complicated three year's ago, was it?,

It’s folk pushing kids in prams looking at their phones rather on where they go that freaks me out .

When my children were younger, I would always crash into people who were on their phones and they would always apologise to me.

People on their phones when pushing a pram infuriate me too!

"Look at the ducks / look the busses etc."

That's what parents should be doing!

Walking through Glasgow daily and mainly young folk of all nationalities on their phones looking down.

And you have to stop and move as they are oblivious to you.

And not a peep out of them.

People looking at phones. Folk on electric scooters. Deliveroo / Just Eat cyclists on pavements. They all infuriate me when trying to navigate the city.

I'm glad I don't drive, my pavement rage is bad enough. Some folk actually give me the fear.

I'm starting to rage just thinking about it x

My work has people of quite a few different nationalities and I find this when walking the corridors. Bloody zigzagging all over the place.

I hate when your shopping especially when it’s busy like Christmas time and the people who are walking in front of you decide to stop dead and have a conversation and you have to wait and try swerve past them like they are a parked car

It's tough for those of us who are blind/visually impaired - people will hit you with their prams etc, never bothering to look for white sticks etc, as their phone pleasures are more important than avoiding harm they can cause

Many Brits don't follow the keep left "rule', after all it is a pavement not a road.

We kept to the left even at school. Makes sense to use it elsewhere. Saves issues going up and down busy staircases as well as pavements.

I find skipping and singing ensures a clear path down any pavement...

And those that walk on a cycle path with an extendable dog lead and superwoofer headphones on so they don't respond to a bell!
